I work each day from nine to five down on the k**in' floor
I drag myself home half alive, next day I go back for more
The way you treat me sometimes baby I swear that you're gonna be
Hangin' with these sides of beef in the cold room wait and see
CHORUS
Until then I'm just working and payin' my dues
It's no sin I'm just working and payin' my dues
Playing and singing the blues
I ain't got that much too loose
I use to work the mine for coal today and nearly every day
Staying in a dark hole just to make my hard earn pay
And when I get home you put me down much lower than the deepest shaft
One of these days, I'll drag you down that hole and you'll never be coming back
REPEAT CHORUS
One of these days I'll be a millionaire, I'm going to take the money and run
One of these days I'll be a millionaire, I'm going to take it with a knife and gun
Well if you see me down in Vegas baby don't forget to give me a wave
I'll leave some change by the poolside honey, so you can't say I never gave
REPEAT CHORUS
